SOURCES: Billion short tons of coal consumed per country per year.; Billion short tons of coal consumed per country per year. Per capita figures expressed per 1 population.; Coal production figures for year 2002; Coal production figures for year 2002 Per capita figures expressed per 1 million population.; ; Per capita figures expressed per 1 population.; Total exported electricity in kilowatt-hours ; total imported electricity in kilowatt-hours Per capita figures expressed per 1 population.; The percentage share of electricity generated from each energy source. These are fossil fuel, hydro, nuclear, and other (solar, geothermal, and wind).; Ratio of premium gasoline price to world average
Units: Ratio of Gasoline Price to World Average
Units: Pump price for super gasoline (US$ per liter): Fuel prices refer to the pump prices of the most widely sold grade of gasoline. Prices have been converted from the local currency to U.S. dollars, and the ratio of the gas price to the world average in the same time period was used in order to normalize the data. For more information, see World Development Indicators, Table 3.12.; Hydroelectric consumption in terawatt-hours.; Number of terrawatt-hours of nuclear energy consumed per country per year. Figures are provided for the year 2002.; Nuclear waste generated
Units: Standardized Scale (z-score)
Units: Two variables were initially available for Radioactive Waste: Accumulated Quantity (cubic meters) as generated and Accumulated Quantity (cubic meters) after treatment. We calculated the z-scores for the two variables, in order to make them comparable, and took whichever variable was available for each country. For the three countries (Australia, Canada and Czech Republic) which had both variables, we took the higher.; This entry is the total oil consumed in barrels per day (bbl/day). The discrepancy between the amount of oil produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes, refinery gains, and other complicating factors. Per capita figures expressed per 1,000 population.; Crude oil refining capacity; Primary Energy: Consumption, Million tonnes oil equivalent, share of total (%), as of end of 2004

Notes: Others have less than 0.05%; PowerStream
